Are you going to log Christmas day?
Replies

Yes! Logging helps me make better choices BEFORE the big meals...like carrot sticks and a lo-cal cheese stick for lunch before the rich dinner. I will probably go over calories, but not by as much as if I started eating cookies and pie at breakfast 'cuz that day doesn't count!!:happy:0
-
yup. I'll at least log breakfast/lunch. May not make it for dinner.0
-
No Way!
Just know it'll be around 10,000 calories, and I'll be 2 weeks recovering.0 -
yup going to log the entire Christmas trip
10 days at my mother's for the holidays
and man can she cook lol0 -
I plan to - the way the day is looking for me now, i will not have time to eat much! so i may as well! save not logging for like New Year's Eve when i dont want to know how many calories i eat/drink...lol0
-
I'll log, not so much to calorie count but more so I am aware of what I am eating and not being oblivious to it. My mum does amazing homemade Christmas dinners and I plan to enjoy the day. Not going to pretend I didn't eat certain things that I most definitely did, but watching the calories sky rocket will hopefully keep me in check from over-indulging on those candy canes and chocolates on the tree! Besides everyone deserves a treat day once in a while so might as well make it Christmas!0

Yes.0

Yes, but I'm not going to miss out on something I like. I'll just work harder before and after to make up for it.
Merry Christmas x0 -
log christmas? Bwahahahahahaha, lets say I eat 3500 calories over my maintenance, that's 5700 kcal's and I still will only add 1 pound... nono, I am not pulling my iphone out of my vest at the dinnertable to evaluate the hard work of my hosts, not happening.0

I hope to, but Christmas for us is mostly just a regular day with an extra dessert. Breakfast will be normal, tea will be normal, dinner is just a regular roast but we'll have either individual Christmas pudding or a slice of apple pie. Hopefully I'll get some exercise in and I can't drink anything with lunch because I have to drive my mum home later in the day.0
-
I just might! I would be curious to see........0
-
I also feel that if I don't and have a total free for all, I will make excuses the next day, and then the next.......0
-
Yes. I plan to eat what I want but I plan to log it!0
-
yes0
-
Yes most definately. If only to realise what I do eat .0
-
do you honestly think i have time to log in every detail of food i eat?! and also measure everything out that i normally do every day?! no!! so therefore i wont be logging food christmas day OR boxing day. 2 days off isnt going to hurt, it will probably do the world of good for some of those that are on a plateaux0
-
Yes, just because I know that if I skip just one day, I'll get all off track.0
-
Definitely! I log everything, binges, etc.0
-
yes and going to for a run before going to dinner at my family's house.0
-
Yes I will absolutely log, just like I did on Thanksgiving. Will I have a little of whatever I want? sure! But I need the accountability. Not everyone does. But being a former food addict, I need it.0
-
Christmas, Thanksgiving, Birthday's, they are all Free Days! Live and enjoy it. No one can get fat after one bad day.0
-
I am!0
-
Of course I will!
Christmas Eve after church, dinner, presents and everyone goes to bed my cousin and I go out dancing. I will probably burn 700-900 calories so I plan to spend the day eating fruitcake and drinking and playing with my presents by the fire.
And I will gleefully log it just to rub it in everyone's faces :drinker:
How's that for holiday cheer?0 -
Probably not. While I still try to make good food choices, I don't typically log on the weekends. It keeps me from getting burned out on logging and provides me an opportunity to indulge in some things that I wouldn't eat on a daily basis, and then I behave the rest of the week.0
-
Yes sir!! I will always log;) I plan I'm staying 100% on my healthy eating because their will always be a holiday an event a something and I have to have the discipline to follow through;)0
-
I'm not going to log Christmas, I didn't log Thanksgiving either. I am going to do a long run on Christmas eve morning, I might even do a shorter run on Christmas day. I just want to enjoy my family and all the good desserts!! I love desserts, if I could just skip the meal and have dessert first I would be soooo happy!!0
-
Yes i will.... i always do. good day, bad day... piggy day, whichever.
i just wont beat myself up about it0 -
Yes of course I am... will I care if I'm over... no! But these are the times to plan rest of week to balance it out for these indulgences!
